11:04 am
it looked like it was going to challenge its recent lows. the story, though, is in gasoline. it is always in gasoline. may be the gas price collapse has stalled. $2.03 as of right now. the cheapest gas in the land is $1.50. now, the lowest is $1.50 idaho. , on or from chicago. we thought we were going to drop below $2 for a national average. we are at $2.03.
11:05 am

11:07 am
nicole: the truth of the matter is, the guy was pretty much ousted because of the disappointing holiday numbers. back a couple years ago, it had more than 25% market share. as of 2013, that drop below 20%. the kids today are looking at tablets. if they do want dolls and accessories, they are going else where. stuart: thank you very much, indeed. then we have "american sniper," the movie. held on over the weekend at the box office. michael moore. he is not done yet.
11:08 am
look at what he tweeted over the weekend. i tried to save their lives by stopping them from sending their deaths to iraq. what would jesus do? hide on top of the roof and shoot people in the back. kt mcfarland is here. i am disgusted at it. i know you are too. >> there are american heroes that are willing to plead and die for your right to have more big macs. i am sorry. that was really petty. here is a guy who is really talking about american heroes. somebody has to pay the price.
11:09 am
it is not just somebody who is a sniper. somebody whose family goes to war and has two live with the rest of it. stuart: tell me about the latest with terrorism and hostages. we got back to america. they have been there for years i think because of the death of their daughter. that looks like a direct swap of hostages.
11:10 am
you can swap them for prisoners. you want to get back into the fight. when i was in the reagan administration he was taken hostage and tortured did ultimately, killed by hezbollah. the terrible thing in any president do you try to get that person out knowing that if you do you are signing the death warrant for future american hostages. no. we do not negotiate with hostages. there is a reason for that policy. >> the islamic terrorists used
11:11 am
to be funded by oil money. stuart: have they just turned into a gang, essentially? >> that is what they used to do. they are business. the way they raise money are two things. they would take hostages, europeans, primarily. they would ran some them. stuart: at this point, are we winning or losing this fight against terror? >> it is not something you can do ad hoc. it has to be a bigger way to win a war. >> that is what we are failing to do.
11:12 am
>> k.t. mcfarland, everyone. thank you. it has the backing of some big names. cheryl casone is here. an actual office. i could walk into it. >> it is going to be online. this is the thing that they needed. it will be regulated. the new york stock exchange are backing this company. they did go live today. this will be the first time you ever have an exchange license. >> is it a physical place? >> it is still on the web but it is an exchange.

enough of de-flategate. i just don't think this story merits the level of coverage that it's getting. what say you? >> it's only getting larger. now it's shifted towards the nfl, stuart. bill belichick doubled down on saturday, said hey, the science you're accusing us of doesn't work. he had a long, up prompted -- unprompted press conference, and today it came out that maybe the nfl knew about these balls before the game started in the afc championship game. basically, indicating that they let this game play knowing that there was an advantage for the patriots potentially at play. that's the rumor here in glendale. i think now the onus will be back on roger goodell -- stuart: what a mess. >> to say, hey, would you let this afc championship game go on knowing these balls were improperly -- stuart: what a mess! what a mess! over deflated footballs which have at best a tiny fractional

11:29 am
you agree with that? >> i agree with that because so many times i've covered these sales, and even when the buyer's kept secret, the broker will say it's a foreign buyer. think the saudis, the chinese think the russians. stuart: this becomes much more expensive for a foreign buyer because the dollar's gone straight up. they've got to find enough yen or euros to pay this huge dollar price which keeps going up. >> this sale closed on december 23rd which means the transaction -- the currency's what you're talking about that's a december story. but now, yes. stuart: now they've got to come up with $100 million. >> uh-huh. stuart: and it's going to cost them more yen or euros -- >> if they didn't already convert their money into dollars at the time, which maybe they did. we're looking at pictures of 157. this is a problem, you know why? because they're depending on that foreign money. there's ten apartments for sale in that building, fox business exclusively brought you the opening of the park hyatt which is in the bottom part of the

now look at the share price of generac. we always talk about this company before a big storm, so let's bring in the ceo who is in milwaukee. ladies and gentlemen, look at this gentleman very carefully. he loves these catastrophic storms because they work wonders for generac. is that not the truth sir? >> well, stuart, obviously, you know, we -- [laughter] we care about people, we care about taking cower of people, and that's an important thing. but obviously, an event like this presents an opportunity for a company like ours that makes generators, and we'll have to see if thislies -- lives up to all the hype but our phones are jammed it's been a busy morning, to say the least. stuart: if i ordered one of your top of the line generators last week the first moment that i thought maybe we've got a big storm coming let's suppose i ordered one of these things on friday or maybe standard morning, i can't get it installed and up and running by time the storm arrives tomorrow
11:36 am
or tonight or tomorrow morning can i? >> it's -- that's a tough thing to do. i mean if you have -- if you're in line to get your generator installed, you might be lucky enough. they're obviously going to be installing a lot of products today. as long as they can go today until the snow shuts them down they're going to do it. by and large unfortunately people wait, you know as a society we procrastinate, and backup power plans are no different. what we find is that the small gasoline portable generators will become very popular after the storm hits. stuart: i've got one of your rolls royces. i've got one of those. >> thank you. stuart: i mean it did cost me $22,000 to install this thing, but i've got to tell the audience, it took me three months to get it installed and up and running. i had to have planning permission from the local town to put this thing many. >> right. stuart: then i had to build a concrete floor then a gas line to go to it. does that put some viewers off your product? >> whether well, certainly --
11:37 am
well certainly, you know, we have entry-level products that start under $2,000, products for large or homes and for businesses that, obviously, are a lot more complex, a lot more involved. this is a home improvement project, though, when you talk about the permanently-installed generators. you need planning permission you need contractors, a project to manage, and it can put people off. i think, you know, the average cost on these things when you boil it down with installation is still somewhere around that $4-$5,000 for a permanently-installed solution. obviously, we have gasoline portable objects, and that can carry you through until you can arrange to have one of the permanently-installed units. stuart: suffice it to say, you are doing very well indeed whenever we get these big storms. generac, good to see you. >> thanks for having me. stuart: look at the big board, please we're down 30 point 17,641.

[laughter] stuart: okay. let's not get too technical
11:44 am
here, you're the scientist, and i'm not. >> right. stuart: now, you say climate the weather, does indeed affect the inflation of the football. >> that's right. stuart: but these footballs in that championship game were deflated to the point where you cannot explain it in terms of worth. >> that's correct. stuart: therefore, you are saying somebody did it. >> i'm not saying someone did it, i'm saying we're overlooking something else. [laughter] stuart: well, how else could it have happened? >> the thing is we know -- what we've learned is that if you increase the temperature, the pressure changes. if you lower the temperature, the pressure changes. stuart: got it. >> so the weather can be a factor so that's one thing. but what belle check also talked about -- belichick also talked about is pumping the ball. you're measuring the air inside which is hot, so the temperature of the air will be hot. the pressure could be 12.5 and that's the temperature you're reading, but when that airing
11:45 am
cools down, that pressure's going to settle, and if you take it outside that temperature's going to go down even further and the pressure will go down as well. stuart: so you are saying that other factors had to be involved in the deflation of those footballs on that day -- >> that's right. stuart: other factors than what -- >> other than mother nature yeah. we don't get to the two psi with mother nature alone. stuart: it could have been somebody did it. >> i can't say -- stuart: can't rule it out. >> i don't know. but i know that it's not mother nature alone. if they did it intentional, i don't know that. i don't know that. but the process, the process does affect -- we have to know the starting point. you know, you're supposed to pump up the ball and wait. you want the air to cool down, and then you take the pressure. but if someone's overeager and they measure the pressure after pumping, they're going to get an erroneous measurement that's going to put them in the wrong place. stuart: now, you know a lot about football, and you're a scientist to boot. you've got both sides. >> right. stuart: don't you think this has
11:46 am
gone just a little bit too far? >> i'm with bell chic he's over it i'm over it too. stuart: really? >> yeah. the thing i'm excited about is everybody's talking about science. every day i've got tons of e-mails, people talking about science. this is awesome. stuart: but you also know bill belichick and tom brady, they cheated before -- >> they have a history -- stuart: and they were fined $500,000 between them. >> that's right. so i think that's why it's the story. if it happened with another team, couple of psi off, okay we have to figure out what happened and not do that again. but given who the team is, everyone's pointing a finger, looking at things under a microscope. stuart: after the super bowl to make this thing go away and stay away don't we need a new standard of psi for game balls checked by the refs before game? >> absolutely. we need a pressure, we need a recipe. you pump it to a certain level, you wait a certain amount of time, you measure it. and we could even go further. we can actually put sensors in a
11:47 am
football to measure the pressure so that fans can monitor it. stuart: really? >> oh yeah. if you can put it in car tires you can certainly put it in a football. so i think that's what should happen. we ought to enter the space age with football measurements. stuart: bet you never had a conversation with an englishman like this before, have you? >> no. [laughter] stuart: you're a scientist. you've studied these things. if you deflate the ball by two psi, two pounds per square inch does that indeed, make a difference as to how far it goes, the way it travels through the air the catchability of it? does it make a tangible difference? >> all the players would love to have an underinflated ball. from a quarterback's point of view it's easier to grab particularly on that rainy day. from a receiver's point of ball, it's easier to catch. a catcher would love to have a ball that's softer because you'll have more contact area and when the foot hits the ball, you'll have more momentum
11:48 am
transferred to the ball so it'll go out further. it's just easy to grab, look what i can do because my ball's underinflated. stuart: how many interviews have you done? you are the lady of the moment here. >> well, i feel fortunate. i got a chance to write "newton's football" last year, learned a lot about the game. i love teaching science so that's the reason why i'm willing to talk to good looking people by yourself. stuart: oh, stop it. that was deliberate flattery, and you love it. [laughter] >> it's a book that came out last year, i wrote it with alan st. john who's a sports writer and we asked -- stuart: there it is, "newtop's football." i want to know is it available on amazonsome. >> absolutely. stuart: if this broadcast and your appearance on it spikes the football book -- >> i will let you know. stuart: promise? >> i i promise to do so. stuart: so where's the book? usually you give me a book. >> they let me run out with just a football. stuart: before you leave this studio and get out into that

stuart: i watched new york's mayor bill de blasio talk about something bigger than we've seen before. he was talking about the approaching blizzard. my first reaction come on your honor. that bad? that big? actually yes. what i thought might be a grab for the headlines is, in fact legit. and with technology you can tell what's real, and satellite actually lets you see what's coming. 1-3 feet of snow on the way along with powerful winds and probably a storm surge along the coast. this is primarily a human story. the authorities are telling people to be prepared to stay indoors for a couple of days. the fun fades fast, doesn't it? what happens if you absolutely, positively have to be at work? you're going to struggle. my heart goes out to the people who have to be at work, but the children will be home at school. what on earth are you going to do? schools are closing all over. i hope you have a generator i
12:01 pm
hope your boss has given you the day off, i hope you can sit back and watch the storm through us because we absolutely positively guarantee that "varney & company" will be here for you. ♪ ♪ stuart: i think i can safely say this, the blizzard of '15 will shut down new york. so let's go to nicole at the new york stock exchange. is it going to be open tomorrow? i ask that question because i don't think it needs to be open. most trading is electronic these days, isn't it? >> well, a majority of trading is electronic, but, however, we are going to be open. obviously, you have a lot of trading that goes on right here at the new york stock exchange. you have a lot of humans who follow these stocks very closely. they are going to be onboard with their staff ready much like "varney & company." the news never sleeps and neither does wall street for that matter. they don't take days off here
12:02 pm
very easily, and they've already sent out the notices that they are ready, they're going to be staffed, they have made their preparations for today and tomorrow for normal operating hours. all these guys, i'm already talking to them, they've got all their hotels ready and they are geared up to stay here overnight. and you know they don't really close this place much. you had sandy a couple of days there, hurricane gloria, and then it goes all the way back to the late 1800s where there was -- 1888 it was closed for a few days and that was because of 40-foot snow drifts. but really the stock market doesn't close very easily and really could put a backup in trading and such. stuart: i'm laughing because the producer and liz macdonald sitting here just said you remember that storm, adopt you, back in -- >> don't you remember the late 1800s? right, exactly. gloria 1996. do you remember that one? stuart: oh i do. i spent a week in new york city that week, had to. bottom line, they're open tomorrow. that's right nicole? >> that's right.
12:03 pm
ready. stuart: thanks, nicole. check the big board, where are we? pre-blizzard of '15 we're down seven points. i'm going to call that dead flat. i've not checked, but i'm pretty sure the volume's going to be very, very low. but do look at ibm. the stock's moving up. several reports today they're going to lay off one-quarters of the work force, that's more than 100,000 people. ibm says no, that's incorrect but the stock is still up. disappointing profits at mattel and the ceo resigns some say he was fired. nicole, familiar names like hot wheels and barbie. they're not what they used to be, are they? okay. we call them blizzard stocks, and we always look at them before a big storm. here are home depot, amazon generac, netflix, all except amazon are doing well as the blizzard approaches. here's a totally different subject and a very good question to ask right now. are we negotiating with terrorists? it has been reported that the al-qaeda sleeper agent -- that
12:04 pm
guy right there -- he was released last week that it was part of a deal to swap him for two americans who'd been held in prison, hostage basically, in qatar for a couple of years. the author of the world's most dangerous places robert young pelton joins us now. robert, there's a lot of speculation that we did indeed negotiate with terrorists, this was, indeed a terrorist swap a quid pro quo. but the obama team says, no, no, no we don't negotiate with terrorists. there's no dealmaking here. you're laughing. what's the truth of it? >> well, under the obama administration we've done a good job using project says -- proxies much like remember back in the reagan era in the iran contra affair. so what we do is we hire or actually use people to sit in rooms that the state department folks don't sit in they negotiate. the state department then agrees or disagrees with it, but we did that in bergdahl, you know, bowe
12:05 pm
bergdahl who was kidnapped by the haqqanis, so this is our new tactic to, essentially use proxies. stuart: essentially it's negotiating with terrorists. kt mcfarland on this program earlier said look, it's an invitation to take more hostages to make more money or to have more hostages to swap. what do you make of this policy? >> well, i don't think hostage taking is going to stop anytime soon. i think the goal of this administration is to shut down or at least flush out places like gitmo and anybody who has been sort of sitting around for a long period of time so that the legacy of this administration is that we clean that up. stuart: well do you agree with that goal? do you think that's a good thing to do right now? >> in some cases, yes in some cases, no. in other words to get a u.s. citizen back, sometimes you have to cut deals with the devil. these terrorists or these people who work in surgeon circles are essentially dub in certain circles, they're essentially
12:06 pm
disposable. stuart: so you approve of this? >> it's easier to talk out these folks once they return to their old tricks than to have them sitting -- i think it's a million dollars a year to keep someone in gitmo, for example. stuart: i mean i can see your point if we had a policy of saying, hey, you did this, and we're coming after you. maybe 20 years maybe 30 years before we get you, but we're going to get you. we don't say that, do we? >> no, i don't honestly think we have a policy. i think we take it case by case. i did a very long series called finding bergdahl for "vice" magazine in which i went deep inside u.s. hostage negotiations, and it's very much ad hoc. stuart: okay. robert, we thank you very much for joining us. i think this is going to be an ongoing subject. we welcome your participation in the debate whenever you got the time. we appreciate you being here. >> thanks stewart. stuart: remember senator liz warren's you didn't build that
12:07 pm
speech from a few years back? she's at it again. this time she is focusing on the drug companies, and here's the quote: drug company make great contributions, but so do taxpayers. in other words, we built those medical innovations together. all right. let's bring in fox news contributor stephen moore who joins us from washington. what do you make of that? this, to me, ms. warren, senator warren is a collectivist. she's saying there's no such thing as individual liberty in the pursuit of ideas on an individual basis, no we're collectivists. what do you make of that argument? >> this is a mythology that the left has been using for 30 years that somehow all of the great drug advancements and, you know, the big blockbuster, you know, new drugs and vaccines have been a result of the nih. now, the nih does participate many this, but they do the basic research. the real blockbusters are developed by private pharmaceutical companies and
12:08 pm
bioengineering companies that do incredible work. by the way i was talking to some of these executives. it costs sometimes half a billion dollars in private investment capital stuart. for senator warren to say we're going to take profits away from you, i think this is even more important, stuart, it's terrible for our health because if you delay or disrupt the development of these new drugs, you're basically, you know a death sentence for people who have alzheimer's, cancer or others. stuart: but arguably, she is leading the charge among democrats not to be necessarily the 2016 presidential candidate but she's leading the intellectual charge pulling that party to the left. and doug schoen, he reports today that in new hampshire and iowa elizabeth warren is polling very very well against hillary clinton. >> yeah. stuart: you're obviously a private enterprise guy. assess for us how strong is the
12:09 pm
challenge from the collectivist left vis-a-vis ms. warren? >> well, first of all, it tells you a lot about the modern day democratic party that a nut case like elizabeth warren is, you know, first or second place in the early polling for these democratic primaries. i mean elizabeth warren is a member of the sandinista wing of the democratic party right? she doesn't believe in the free enterprise system. she does want to dramatically raise taxes and regulate these businesses, and the point i was making is, look if you look at obamacare, you know this stewart, obamacare has major taxes already on not just the pharmaceutical company but the vaccine company, the medical device company, all the kind of entrepreneurial breakthroughs they want to tax those. if you tax something, you get lessover it. it's a very simple economic message. and by the way, the research that goes into these drugs, when i mentioned it costs half a billion to bring a new drug to market, you know, only one out of every ten of these even
12:10 pm
succeeds. so the amount of risk capital that goes into these is gigantic. if you don't give those investors a return, we're not going to get any more, you know medical progress in this country. stuart: steve, can you give me 20 seconds on the greek election? they went far left. is that in any way bad news for us? [laughter] >> you know, stuart, i just laugh. every time you think the europeans can't do anything dumber -- [laughter] they do. and, you know, the attitude in greece now is, you know, gee we need more government spending we need more welfare we need higher pension programs. the problem with countries like greece -- and you come from that continent -- is the welfare states are out of control the taxes are way too high to pay for it and europeans can't seem to figure that out. so it is bad news for everybody. stuart: stephen moore -- >> are you making a promise to us stuart, that you are going to be behind -- in front of the camera tomorrow when you have one foot of snow out there? stuart: yes.
12:11 pm
i'm sleeping in my office. >> i can't wait to see your boots. [laughter] stuart: i promise, i shall be here no matter what, okay? [laughter] stephen, thank you very much indeed. >> take care. stuart: "american sniper" held onto the top spot at the weekend box office another $64 million in ticket sales that means $900 million in two weeks. but -- $200 million in two weeks. but howard dean says the only people who are watching it are quote, very angry. really howard dean said that? this howard dean? >> we're going to california and texas and new york and we're going to south dakota and oregon and washington and michigan! and then we're going to washington, d.c. to take back the white house! yeah! [laughter] stuart: we just had to do that. i'm sorry, we just had to do that. so angry people watch "american sniper," and he says that the tea party is full of angry people therefore, there's something wrong with the tea
12:12 pm
party. >> yeah, that's right. exactly, and this is, wow, he's getting a lot of reaction from his comments on the bill maher show. you're right, howard dean said there's a lot of anger in this country, that people who see this movie are angry they're very angry and he said if you look at a cross-section of the tea party the people that see this movie there's going to be an intersection between the tea party and the moviegoers but it's no, women who are going to see the movie and 20-somethings, that there's a broad swath of the population -- men, women 20-somethingst, you know all age groups. no matter what their political leanings, they're going to see the movie stuart. and the other thing it's igniting is this whole debate about the sniper movie, you know? "saving private ryan" had a functional sniper in it who also prayed before he took his shots. but you didn't see any criticism when that movie came out. that's in the debate as well. stuart: good story liz. thank you very much. >> sure. stuart: here's what else we have for you today.

stuart: okay. what you're looking at is the radar shot of the approaching storm, and it's a big one coming up the coastline towards here in new york. some updates for you. new jersey has just declared a
12:17 pm
state of emergency, connecticut has instituted a travel ban on state roadways starting at 9:00 eastern. zero visibility expected the storm is intensifying. new york state will close the new york thruway as of 10:00 tonight. come on in, please, fox news senior meteorologist janice dean live in the weather center. you were the one who first told -- [laughter] no, no no don't look guilty. [laughter] stuart: when i was watching you, you were the first to tell me this is a big deal. so tell me, how bad is it? >> well here's the difference, you can look at your run of the mill nor'easters and winter storms that bring feet of snow. the difference is this is a blizzard, and what that means is yes we're going to see a lot of snow, i but we're going to see a period of time where winds are in excess of 50, 60, even 70 miles per hour for a duration of 6-10 hours. that's the difference. it doesn't matter how much snow is on the ground, if it's blowing and you can't see, you are housebound.
12:18 pm
you're not going anywhere. the worst of the storm will be overnight tonight and into tomorrow. the low itself has not even pushed offshore, so it hasn't gotten its act together yet even though we are seeing snow on the radar across the interior sections of the northeast, new york city, philadelphia, even d.c. this morning had some snow. this is philadelphia up towards bangor maine, event. d.c. you'll get a couple of inches but the worst of it will be philadelphia. this is new york, that's 12 a.m., and you see the deeper shades of blue. that's where we have whiteout conditions. in some cases 2-4 inches of snow per hour. that is why we have declared this is a major event, a blizzard event with winds in excess of 50, 60 miles per hour all along the coast here. in some cases hurricane-force winds. i know they have hurricane-force wind warnings for cape cod and the islands. so a period of time where you're
12:19 pm
seeing 70-80 mile-per-hour winds. this is tuesday still cranking along the jersey shore vermont, new hampshire. but really this is a coastal event. i-95 corridor event. and then tuesday still seeing the snow, tuesday evening for eastern long island and new england. the bull's eye of snow will probably be new england, stuart but the takeaway message is it doesn't matter about the snowfall totals. it matters that we have a blizzard warning for the next 24 hours for these big cities which means travel will be impossible starting tonight. stuart: i think we got the message, janice. >> okay. stuart: we got it from you first, and we appreciate that. thanks so much, janice dean. >> of course. stuart: take a look at the price of apple's stock, please up again today. samsung's going to be the main supplier of processers. apple is a winner in part because of a financial times story which says more iphones are being sold in china than in the united states. that's a breakthrough into the

dollars on the super bowl. how well are you doing? can you -- will you give me i know you're a private company you don't have to do this but will you tell me your gross revenues for 2014? will you tell me? >> so i can't give you numbers i can't do that until my cfo tells me i can do that but we've sold over ten million units worldwide, we have five offices all over the world including asia and europe and we have over 350 employees now. so we're doing remarkably well. we've had tremendous growth over the past few years. stuart: yes you really have. you are a niche market the greatest i've ever seen because the smartphone is the ultimate consumer product these days, and you have products that fit t the smartphone. so let me ask you this, when are you going to go public? [laughter] >> no plans to go public yet. we think there is much more growth we can do as a private company, and i'm not sure when that's going to be on the road
12:22 pm
map. but you say we're a niche product, that's true, but it's really a problem that applies to all of us. you talk to anybody nobody is really 100% satisfied with their battery, yet our category awareness and brand awareness is remarkably low. when we look at consumer research, we're showing one in ten people know about the category which means 90% of people out there don't realize that there's a solution. stuart: and i'll bet it's less than one in one hundred who ever knows the name of mophie, but that's your company, and we're going to watch for your ad on the super bowl. i'm sorry, we're out of time, but it was a pleasure to have you with us. thanks very much indeed sir. arizona state offering a class called "the problem with whiteness." we are going to talk with an arizona state student next. and the obama administration wants to use disney's "frozen" to teach kids about global warming. disney's not having any of that. we'll bring you the full story in a moment. ♪ ♪
